Sex workers face severe health and social inequities, largely due to structural factors such as punitive and criminalized legal environments, stigma, and social and economic exclusion.

Sex workers face significant health and social inequalities, largely due to structural factors such as punitive and criminalized legal environments, stigma, and social and economic exclusion and marginalization. While previous research has focused on the elevated burden and gaps in HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services in sex work, less attention has been paid to the broader health and human rights concerns faced by sex workers. This contributed volume aims to address this gap. The chapters feature a diverse range of perspectives, including academic, community, implementing partners, and government, to synthesize research evidence and lessons learned from local-level experiences across different regions. The book is organized into three parts: Burden of health and human rights inequities faced by sex workers globally, including infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, STIs), violence, sexual and reproductive health, and drug use. Structural determinants of health and human rights, including legislation, law enforcement, community engagement, intersectoral collaboration, stigma, barriers to health access, im/migration issues, and occupational safety and health. Evidence-based services and best practices at various levels, ranging from individual and community to policy-level interventions, to identify best practices and avenues for future research and interventions. Sex Work, Health, and Human Rights is an essential resource for researchers, policy-makers, governments, implementing partners, international organizations, and activists working to promote the health and human rights of sex workers globally.
